BLU Life One X - Two issues in MS Launcher

[tpapictures]

I've got two recurring problems with the MS Launcher

1. Some widgets refuse to keep the text within the boundaries and it gets cropped.
2. Every time an app is updated via the Google Play, it gets kicked out of a folder on my homescreen. And then I have to put them back again and again. Especially if it's a game or social media app that is constantly updating.

Any solution for these things?
Thanks!

1. Bad programming. There's nothing you can do about it.

2. No, that's how Android works - if the app isn't there, the shortcut (the icon on the homescreen) gets put on the homescreen when it's replaced. And updating is normally "uninstall the app but keep the data, reinstall the new version and link it to the data". When the app is uninstalled, the icon disappears. When it's reinstalled, the icon goes to the homescreen.

Well, that's strange because in the stock launcher when I have an app in a folder and it's updated, the shortcut doesn't go anywhere. It stays where I left it and is loadable after the update from the same place every time.
With the Microsoft Launcher, I get an update, my folder loses the shortcut and after the update it doesn't go back to the folder or anywhere else but if it were to operate like the stock launcher or at least my stock launcher, it should never go anywhere. I do have the option selected to not let new apps place a shortcut on the desktop. I don't want a shortcut for every single app I try.
